Peter Rabbit and his three sisters — Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-Tail — enjoy spending their days in Mr. McGregor’s vegetable garden. When one of McGregor’s relatives suddenly moves in, he’s less than thrilled to discover a family of rabbits in his new home. A battle of wills soon breaks out as the new owner hatches scheme after scheme to get rid of Peter — a resourceful rabbit who proves to be a worthy and wily opponent.

Please bring chairs or blankets. Concessions will be available starting at 7:00 p.m. and the movie will begin at dusk.

Please note that alcohol products and tobacco products are prohibited on the college campus. In the event of inclement weather, movies may be postponed or canceled.
